Glass cockpit hard to read
Dean,
I just noticed something interesting, looking at pictures of recent Boeing and Airbus PFDs. For altitude, they are both pretty much the same, but for the speed tape, Airbus does not have a big number at the center of the tape but instead the number on top of the tape and just a thin line at the center. After my experience today I like the Airbus better because it is less conducive to reading the numbers rather than "get the picture": Airbus A340: http://simflight.nl/users/reviews/CL...nshots/PFD.jpg Boeing 777: http://www.meriweather.com/777/fwd/pfd.html Arno
